"Ten Day Shorthand" 



DUDLEY SHORTHAND IS THE MOST 
IMPORTANT LABOR-SAVING DEVICE 

that the business world has seen in half a cen- 
tury. It is NOT an improvement upon any 
antiquated English systejn, nor upon any non- 
sensical system using vowels, BUT 
IT IS A BRAND NEW INVENTION, 
a new process, and a complete revolution in the 
art of writing sounds and syllables. 

It is the result of seventeen years of experi- 
mentation, the persistent belief that a PER- 
FECT SYSTEM could be invented to supplant 
the present-day shorthand parodies, and a de- 
termination to discover those new and perfect 
laws which must finally conquer any art. 

Out of the haze of mistakes and nothingness, 
SHORTHAND PERFECTION HAS BEEN 
BROUGHT AND MADE TANGIBLE:— 

and I am proud to offer the world 



Dudley Ten Day Shorthand!

JUSTIFICATION FOR DUDLEY SHORTHAND 

No man is justified in placing an inferior article of any kind upon the market. 
Unless Dudley Shortland is a step in advance and can be readily proven such, I 
am wasting the time of myself and others in placing it upon the market. 

Heretofore there has been no such thing on the market as an ideal system of 
shorthand! An ideal system of shorthand must be sufficiently brief in its funda- 
mental principles for those principles to prevail thruout the development of the 
system without change or alteration: There must be only a very few basic 
rules and there must be absolutely no exceptions to any rule : The pupil should 
learn only what is in logical accord with the fundamental principles and should 
not be called upon to UNLEARN anything: All vowels must be omitted: 
All consonant strokes must be of the same length: Wordsigns must be so few 
as to scarcely exist and then based solely upon the alphabet: It should be 
possible to write most words with one stroke only, and where that is not pos- 
sible, two strokes should be sufficient for ordinary words: Where two or more 
strokes are joined, angles should be sharp. — Such principles would produce 
the maximum amount of speed and legibility with the minimum amount of 
mental and manual effort. 

Now ask any shorthand teacher, author or expert, if there is such a thing as 
an ideal system based upon the above quoted needs, and he will tell you "NO!" 
He will tell you that such a system has never been invented and likely never 
will be: — he will tell you that the world is actually praying for such a system: — 
that such a system would be a GODSEND to the pupil, the teacher and the 
business world in general! 

NEVERTHELESS DUDLEY SHORTHAND is exactly that ideal system! 
Dudley Shorthand is the only system of "shorthand" worthy of being called 
"short!" It does not have to be studied — it merely has to be learned: when you 
have examined Dudley Shorthand and learned the theory, you have at the same 
time mastered the practice, for theory and practice are one and the same in Dudley 
Shorthand — and theory is neither shamed nor mutiliated by practice! 

I am proud of the fact that Dudley Shorthand requires only one-tenth the 
printed space for a complete exposition that the antiquated systems require. 
Those systems which require 200 pages or more, simply confess to any right- 
thinking person that the last half to nine-tenths of those pages are utterly absurd 
and vain attempts to shorten and butcher the outlines and thus gain the "speed" 
that their fundamental principles should but do not possess! (See Gregg Short- 
hand Manual, Lessons Nine and Ten! 

Learning Dudley Shorthand is fascinating, no matter whether you read 
the book for a pastime, or expect to make shorthand your life work. You can 
completely master the theory and practice of Dudley Shorthand in a week's 
time at odd moments in your home, and the United States Government will 
pay you $100 per month as soon as you are competent and can write 100 words 
per minute. That is a fine return for your money, considering you can buy 
the complete manual for $1, or can take the entire course by mail or in night 
class for $10. For further information or instruction, address, DUDLEY

LESSON I A 

THEORY 

Shorthand is the art of writing the sounds of words by the briefest strokes, 
characters or outlines. 

PRACTICE 

The practice of shorthand cannot be successfully pursued unless speed is at 
the immediate command of the stenographer at all times. Speed can only be 
obtained and retained (the latter being the more important consideration), thru 
briefness of outline and simplicity of fundamental principles. Memory is 
treacherous, and, if overburdened by the complications of a lengthy shorthand 
system, it will utterly fail the stenographer at crucial moments. 

PRINCIPLES 
CONSONANT OUTLINE WRITING 

The first principle of speed writing is the immediate elimination of all useless 
sounds or strokes, retaining nothing but the bare skeleton of the consonant outline : 

Thus, in the word "cat," we omit the vowel and write merely the consonant 
sounds which are "kt." As "c" has the sound of "k" in some words, and the sound 
of "s" in others, "c" is therefore expressed by either "k" or "s" according to sound. 

Example: — The word "fence" is expressed by the consonant outline "fns," 
"trance" by "trns," "France" by "Frns," "chance" by "chns," "call" by "kl,\ 
"mace" by "ms," etc. 

In the writing of a word containing a double or repeated consonant, such as 
"tt," "11," "ss," etc., a single consonant is written only, the repeated or second 
consonant being always omitted. 

Example: — The word "matter" is expressed by the consonant outline "mtr," 
"fell" by "fl," "tell" by "tl," "mess" by "ms," "stress" by "strs," "patter" 
by "ptr," etc. 

In the writing of a word containing either silent vowels or silent consonants, 
only the consonant outline which is sounded must be written. 

Example: — The word "guess" is expressed by the consonant outline "gs," 
"freight" by "frt," etc. 

In the writing of words where "g" has the sound of "j," the "j" stroke must 
always be used. 

Example: — The word "German" is expressed by the consonant outline 
"Jrmn," "germ" by "jrm," "margin" by "mrjn," etc. 

Any word must be written according to the proper sound of it, rather than 
the spelling of it. 

Example: — The word "soldier" is expressed by the consonant outline "sljr," 
"laugh" by If," "draught" by "drft," etc. 

WORDS USED IN SENTENCES are expressed by the bare consonant 
outline precisely as above explained. 

Example: — The sentence "We were there" is expressed by the consonant 
outlines "W wr thr." It will be seen that "W" stands for the word "We," "wr" 
stands for "were," and "thr" stands for "there." 

The sentence "He may be there" is expressed by "H m b thr." 

The above may seem slightly difficult to the beginner — but that is solely be- 
cause it is an entirely new idea to him — in practice it is extremely simple and easy.

LESSON I B 

OUTLINE WRITING— CONTINUED 
WRITING IN "POSITION" 

In all the examples on the preceding page of "Consonant Outline Writing," 
it will be noticed that either the vowel sound of "e" or the vowel sound of "a" 
is used — those outlines are, therefore, written on the line, which is termed, "Second 
Position." 

Since all vowels are omitted from the consonant outlines in shorthand (and 
no system of shorthand can be written speedily otherwise), it becomes advisable 
to ndicate by some method the vowel sound so omitted. This is accomplished 
by writing the consonant outline in one of three positions : thus, consonant out- 
lines omitting the vowel sounds of either "i" or "o" are written above the line 
of writing in First Position; consonant outlines omitting the vowel sounds of 
either "e" or "a" are written on the line of writing in Second Position; and con- 
sonant outlines omitting the vowel sounds other than "i," "o," "e" or "a" are 
written thru the line of writing in Third Position. 

Thus we find that the consonant outline "kt" is written above the line in 
First Position to indicate the word "kit" or "cot" — on the line in Second Position 
to indicate the word "cat" or "Kate" — and thru the line in Third Position to 
indicate the word "cut" or "cute." 

Likewise the consonant outline "pt" stands for "pit" or "pot," when written 
above the line in First Position — "pet" or "pat" when written on the line in Second 
Position — and "put" or "pout" when written thru the line in Third Position. 

Example: — The following words are written above the line in First Position, 
because either the vowels "i" or "o" are omitted from their consonant outlines: 

Mile, ml; style, * goat, & coat, kt; float, A t; gloat, 9 lt; go, #' etc. 

The following words are written on the line in Second Position, because either 
the vowels "e" or "a" are omitted: 

Trail, trl; mail, ml; sail, si; certain, srtn; relieve, rlv; pet, pt; pail, pi, etc. 

The following words are written thru the line in Third Position, because 
either the vowels or diphthongs "u," "oi," "ow," or "oo" are omitted: 

Toil, a . fuel, fl . new, n; presume, prsm; flowers, flrs . coil, kl; cow, ^ etc. 

Examples in sentences: — The sentence, "Shall we toil this night to pick flow- 
ers?" is written: 



Shi w U ths nt t P k th 



flrs. 



In this sentence it will be seen that the words "this," "night," and "pick," 
are written in First Position above the line of writing; that the words "shall," 
"we," and "the" are written in Second Position on the line; and that the words 
"toil," "to," and "flowers" are written in Third Position thru the line. 

The pupil should practice similar words and sentences. When you have 
mastered the above, you have completely mastered the theory of shorthand speed 
writing.

16) 



Now that you have learned 
the principles of consonant 
sound writing as explained in 
the preceding lesson, you 
will be able to write simple 
words in shorthand by apply- 
ing the same principles, just 
as soon as you learn the 
shorthand alphabetical con- 
sonant strokes shown in the 
chart on the left margin of 
this page, and also shown in 
chart (a) on Page 16. 



Notice there are 22 con- 
sonant strokes all exactly 34 
of an inch long. The seven 
strokes expressing G, B, V, 
Y, Z, Wh and Ch, are written 
heavy or shaded, while the 
rest of the strokes are written 
light or unshaded. The first 16 
strokes are written down- 
ward as shown; the next 3 
strokes expressing L, M, and 
N are written horizontally 
forward; and the last 3 
strokes expressing R, T and 
D are written forwardly and 
slanted upward at an angle of 
30 degrees. The name of 
each stroke follows it to- 
gether with two examples of 
its use in words. 

The pupil should practice 
and learn these 22 strokes 
thoroly, being careful to pre- 
serve the length, slant, form, 
and shading of each stroke. 

After the pupil has mas- 
tered the consonant alphabet 
he should carefully copy, 
write and study the Ex- 
amples in Words and should 
especially notice the omis- 
sion of the vowels and the 
"position" that the conso- 
nant outline is placed in to 
indicate the omission of such 
vowels. 



LESSON II B 
ALPHABETICAL PHONETICS 

(See Chart A, Page 28) 

On Page 28 will be found a complete table of ALPHABETICAL PHO- 
NETICS and wordsigns. The twenty-eight words printed in capital letters 
are wordsigns, while the remaining words on Page 28 are written solely according 
to sound writing and are therefore phonetics. 

It is most important that the pupil carefully study and thoroly learn all the 
shorthand alphabetical characters and the words they represent when written 
in three different positions, all as shown on page 28. Until you thoroly master 
page 28, you cannot properly proceed with the rest of the system ; but when once 
you have mastered it, the rest of the system will be easy and simple to you. 

THE PRONOUN "YOU" AND "I" 

A small deep "hook" similar to the longhand letter "u," written vertically, 
or sitting up when alone, expresses the pronoun "you:" And a larger "hook," 
similar to the longhand capital letter "U," written vertically when alone, ex- 
presses the pronoun "I." 

These pronouns "you" and "I" may be attached to a preceding or a following 
word for the purpose of speed where legibility is not sacrificed, and, when so 
joined to a preceding or following word, the pronoun "hook" must be joined in 
a reversed manner as it could not be otherwise properly read. Study the follow- 
ing examples:

(NOTE :— See " Punctuation," Page 29.) 



LESSON 1 1 1 A 

VOWELS 

Altho it is absolutely necessary to omit the vowels in any system of shorthand 
before any degree of speed can be obtained, and, altho in Dudley Shorthand, 
vowels are expressed by the "position" of the consonant strokes, nevertheless 
vowels and vowel "positions" must be carefully studied and fully learned before 
it is possible to place the consonant outline in the correct "position" 

Vowels are placed when used, and at other times indicated, in three positions: 

(1) First Position 

(2) Second Position 

(3) Third Position 

When necessary to be written, vowels are expressed by dots and dashes 
(called "ticks") in their respective positions, thus: 



VOWEL POSITION CHART

Second Position Vowels e . e = a. 



Third Position Vowels u u oi s ow oo.

LESSON IV A 

LENGTHENING AND SHORTENING 

(Refer to Charts (a), (b), (c), on Page 16) 
All consonant strokes, shown in Chart (a), may be extended to double length 
as shown in Chart (b), to indicate a following "R"; 

And also be contracted to half length, as shown in Chart (c), to indicate 
a following "L", thus: / 

K / key Kr / care Kl / keel 

See See / See 

Chart P L pay Chart Pr / pair Chart PI _£_pail 

(a) . (b) J (c) 

F / fee Fr _^_fear Fl _J! feel 

Most of the strokes in the charts (a), (b), (c), indicate more than one word, 
according to the vowel sound considered, but, in actual usage, this will not con- 
fuse the pupil. Learn the charts thoroly.

LESSON VI A 

EX, EXES, AND EXEN COMBINATIONS 

A small tick crossed at either end of a consonant stroke indicates "X", ("X" 
is only used in combinations with short vowels), thus: 

Knox _^ box sox ^ fox ** pox * 

Dix — ^ fix :*_ six ^ nix Styx_ 

Max ^— * tax /__ lax — * vex «Z crex_ 



At the discretion of the pupil, it is permissible to use the sign "X" in com- 
bination with short vowels, especially short "a" and "i" even tho the longhand 
spelling is "cks," thus: 



Jacks 


I 


lacks 


-v 


shacks y- 


racks . 


^ 


whacks 


\ 


Macks 


<-> 


packs . 


/ 


facts .*/ 


hacks 


\ 


sacks 


<v 


Hicks 


\ 


kicks . 


/ 


chicks * 


licks 


-* 


ticks 


S< 



By crossing the end of a consonant stroke with a following "S" stroke, "exes" 
is indicated, thus: 

Texas ^C\- taxes /^N, fixes ~^- mixes ^^^- sixes v— 

boxes *- vexes m \/ relaxes ^ v^ 

By crossing the end of a consonant stroke with a following "N" stroke, 
"exen" is indicated, thus: 

Klaxon )4-^ Maxon^=^.^ Paxon V^-- Saxon ^v.^ oxen *~~^ 

Flaxon ^-^ vixen 2_ Dixon o 

"X" at the beginning of a consonant strokes indicates "ax," "ex," "ox," 
"ux," and thus: 

uxoriously ^__axiomatic A-^Z/axiom ,v-^ axis \. axle •* — a x x 



J _ I 



uxorious oxygenize __L oxygen _ oxymel oxide ox 



At the discretion of the pupil, it is permissible to use the sign "X" to express 
the sound of "ax" in the following words, thus: 

accidental_=v=— — accede n ^ accident ^^ accelerate 

-accessible — S— access v> accession \ accessory x/^ accent - 

flccppt-iMft rf acceptance r accelerations -\ j accidentally. 

18 




LESSON VI B 
HOOK, CIRCLE AND LOOP COMBINATIONS 

Hooks, Circles and Loops may be joined when desired, thus: 

France &/ Francis OS dance ^ dances ^ masters _^==>_ 

bounce f bounces / pounce £ pounces ^ castors /? __ 

choicest k juciest k basest & loosest posters _r_ 

western _jk__ cistern postern_f_ plasters & testers /^ 

cousin y poison .yl prison boasters jesters 

FINAL VOWELS 

In the following words and similar cases, final vowels are indicated by 
the use of a final consonant stroke to distinguish them, thus: 

Sail ^ bees C. tale ^ keel Z mar ^ ^ 

Sally o — Bessie { tally /^""~" Kelly ^— Mary_^=v^L 

Fill man <■ — ^ moon a buys g sill 

Philly^s? many _^^>^ money _, busy _L silly 



OMISSION OF WEAK CONSONANTS 

When two consonants are final in a single syllable, the weaker (generally the 
second) of the two consonants has but little value and it is advisable to omit it. 
The following come under this rule: 

Omit "T" and "D" when final after "N," thus: 

accountable /. account £ count / spend C spent L. 

disappoint _s? appoint __y^ point y bend C bent L. 

pheasant rj pleasant £. friend ^S find fund ^/ 

ornament peasant <* meant ^-a mend ^-— s dent ? 

Omit "T" and "D" when final after "R" thus: 

shortage — 2» — chart I short S. _ cart / hard \ 

mortgage *^~/ smart <r~~^ heard _ \ part / card / 

retort r_ reward ^^^v heart \ port ' lard -

Sz 



-In the following few words beginning with "inst" and "instr" the "n" hook 
will be slighted, and sometimes omitted, before the "st" and "str" loops in speed 
writing; it is, therefore, advisable for the pupil to practice and become familiar 
with the speed forms of these words, thus: 

r instinct 



instigate 
institute. 



ZZ. 



instrument 



instruct /J? instate <? instep r 

install <=^» — instill instead_^__ 



In words containing vowels of more than one position, the heaviest, or strong-

/C 



assign 



design 



v. 



^> 



t 



resume

S 



Where two vowel sounds are contained in the middle of a word, the word 
should be placed in position according to the stronger vowel, and the tick repre- 
senting the stronger vowel placed under the word to distinguish the word (the 
tick may be omitted in speed writing), thus: 



dory
